I think this is one of the times I am glad I have my own ramp. Glad to hear its deep and can be used. I'll see ya there Friday morning. Oh never mind, you don't have security there. LOL Actually we do. between the park owner patrolling and the full time residents we have it covered.

Here's another rule----
DO NOT FISH IN THE BOAT LANES.
And if fish within 30-40 yards of a boat lane, don't give me a dirty look when I come by you on plane. I will throw less of a wake on plane than if I slowed down.

This would be such a cooler tournament if it were a shotgun start from one ramp! Honestly though, use some common sense. Everybody will be excited and wanting to get to "their" hole first, but realisticly, most people will have not caught a fish and abandoned their first "spot" within the first hour. Assume that it is your parents in all of the other boats and treat everyone with respect. No one and I mean NO ONE wants to read about an accident at Fork come next Monday. Be safe, Be cautious, and be Courteous.

Some of the best spots are in the boat lanes, AND theres plenty of room to go around the fisherman not through them. If I am there and you have 200 yards to go around a group of boats your going to get more than a dirty look from me. Just sayin.

I understand your logic. But in essence what you are saying is that if you don't know the boat lanes as well as I do and you don't feel comfortable in running on plane, you should stay out of the boat lanes and keep out of my way. +1

I have not seen a boatlane out there that was 200yds wide. I would think fishing a boatlane during the McDonalds is just asking to get pissed off. Way too many boats zipping around to realistically think its gonna be easy to do.

If you are fishing in that path, you're gonna get rocked a little. Some of the best pavement to skateboard on is in the middle of the freeway. Would you go play out there?

I would like to add one. it is as you are looking for a spot to fish and see a marker buoy in the water, don't pull up on it. if you look in your boat, yours are in there. Threw one of mine out last year in 60ft of water about 1:30pm and then drove off just to see how many people pulled up to it. We laughed our asses off at every boat. I bet there was 7-8 in 30 minutes.

How about not parking on the bridges waiting to launch your boat? Come in from the other way or go down and turn around. I seen tons of people parked in line on the 154 bridge last year waiting to launch. Pretty dangerous early in the morning when it's still dark since there is hardly a shoulder on the bridges.

Way too many boats zipping around to realistically think its gonna be easy to do. Main lake point out of Little Caney to the damn, thats like 2 miles. Nothing but deep water instead of taking a path around the people fishing there I guess its cool to run in between them?
